As most of you know
we lost Benny in October.
I miss him EVERY SINGLE DAY.
We learned a huge lesson since we are still paying his cancer
treatment bills.
I would never change one thing.
You guys (Blog and Facebook friends) helped us TREMENDOUSLY
What I learned......

Is what I learned.
My sick eye,
My sick belly
My poopy...
COVERED.
Thank you Healthy Paws
you will be my best friend forever.
We are both covered.
Lily & Edward
We think about him also. We are also so happy Edward has found his forever home. Insurance is good.

That sounds like a great idea, especially considering the cost of vet care. We still think about Benny lots, can't imagine how much you do.
ReplyDeleteThat is such wonderful advice Lily!
ReplyDeleteYes, Lily...you are so right about having insurance! This is a great reminder for everyone.
ReplyDelete*high paws* to you and Edward,
Oz
We would never be without it. It might be a bit of a gamble but truthfully it is a necessity. Glad you both are covered. Have a marvellous Monday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Great advice. Truffles is the first cat I've ever adopted young enough for insurance to be an option so it's definitely something I'm looking into!
ReplyDeleteYou might be surprised at how often we think of Benny. I think he touched the hearts of many. What a smile he had! Yes, insurance is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteYour Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
Lily we will never ever forget your Benny and his brave fight!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you and Edward have good coverage.
Hugs madi your bfff
We have never heard of this brand of insurance. We will look at it.. Most of them are too expensive to be worthwhile. BUTT you are RIGHT... if it has already covered so many thingys.
ReplyDeleteIf you are 5 and under it's less. We get our refunds in under 12 days. Whoooa
DeleteI don't think we'll ever forget Benny. He was such a cool dude.
ReplyDeleteOur mom thinks we should look into this insurance thing. Thanks for the tip.
Play bows,
Zim
We will never forget brave Benny. We are glad you have insurance to help with your medical costs. We don't have insurance but we have a vet who is a good family friend, so it is like having a different kind of insurance!
ReplyDeleteLily, I miss him too. And you're right to have an insurance is very impawtant, even when we have to pay a rentention, it's better to have such a thingy.
ReplyDeleteWe use to have it but found they seemed to keep covering less and less each time we used it (which wasn't very often) in the end it was costing more than the vet bills and they wouldn't cover any of Reilly's allergy stuff
ReplyDeleteYou can never have too much insurance!
ReplyDeleteLucky you two. Because my deformity in my legs showed up in puppyhood Lee could not get insurance on me. And we also found out a lot of veterinary physician in Cincinnati don't take insurance. I miss your Benny also.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being a friend

We learned too and got insurance for Dolly last year. We are not happy with it, Pet Plan, and are looking for something better. Thanks for sharing. Love Dolly Pees: I wish I could have known you Benny!
ReplyDeleteWe miss Benny too, Lily. Insurance is a good thing to have!
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots♥
Mitch and Molly
We all miss Benny too.Whenever we think of Thunder, Benny comes to mind. Their situations occurred about the same time and were so very similar. We will have to check out Healthy Paws - Mom is always looking for something like that.
ReplyDeleteWoos - Phantom, Ciara, and Lightning
Hmm I will have to check Health Paws Insurance out.
ReplyDeleteAroo to you,

You never do know when you might need the insurance. We will check them out. We think of Benny often

I miss Benny. That is very good advice and thank you both for that.
ReplyDeleteLoveys Sasha
You need to have insurance, both for animals and peeps. Have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteWe miss your Benny too Lily.....we're very glad you and Edward have insurance though - it's nice to know that whatever happens you guys are COVERED!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sammy
Glad coverage is working for you. We haven't found a plan that would work with our situation, but we are always open to it.
ReplyDeleteBless Benny and his brave fight..we have no pet insurance as when we looked into it with four cats and two dogs all older the insurance would pay for a holiday house!! it was really expensive..unless you had a young animal etc and there was no benefit from having multiple pets..we would just find the money somehow if we needed it..they need to look more closely at it here in Australia :) hugs to you both Fozziemum xx
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had insurance. I waited too long and right now can't swing it. But I will sure keep it in mind for future pets!
ReplyDeleteExcellent job on the insurance! Tallulah and Petunia are covered by Petplan. Isabelle could be covered but her pre-existing conditions would be excluded. A big thing to know about pet insurance is that pre-existing conditions are rarely covered. You need to have the policy underwritten immediately after buying which for us meant sending in all vet records for the last two years. The underwriters will determine what is covered and what is excluded. Sometimes it's life, sometimes it's for a year or two. If you aren't happy with the underwriting, you can usually cancel the policy without penalty.
ReplyDeleteJust like with human insurance, policies and companies are different. The humans need to do a lot of homework before picking one.
The peeps have been talking about insurance for ages. They should get their buts into gear and just get some!
ReplyDeletethat is a good idea Lily,Edward and Mum,we miss Benny too,xx Speedy
